I don't think the issue is salvage per se, rather what YEAR and MODEL is the salvage car? My uncle is in the biz, and stays away from late-model salvage euro cars. I don't blame him. Salvage on a 10-15 year old car may not be as big a deal as on a 2003 S55. Also, on the newer cars, there are a lot more hidden issues potentially. MANY more subsystems that may not stand out to the naked eye and casual appraisal. If you don't know EXACTLY what you are getting into, or have a pretty damn good idea, probably best to stay away.
